The time will be 7:05-7:30 before school starts. All students with adults may enter through the library outside door (Door 2). No need to badge in at the front.
Family checkout week will be by last name during the week before Spring Break as follows:
Last Names A-F: Monday, March 9th

If you can't make it on your day, feel free to come another day!
This will be a great way for students to stock up on extra books before the Spring Break! Please let Ms. Grillo know if you have any questions: theresa.grillo@pfisd.net
HHS Dance Team-Egg My Yard Fundraiser
Hendrickson High School Silver Dancers Booster Club is hosting their annual Egg My Yard fundraiser, where dancers deliver and hide candy & toy filled eggs in families' yards the evening before Easter for a fun surprise the next morning.
This fundraiser directly supports both the HHS Silver Dancers and the Navies dancers with competition expenses, travel and team needs throughout the year. It's a fun way to support our high school dancers while creating a memorable experience for younger students! See the flyer below for more information, as well as the link to order.
